HONEY AND ORANGE GLAZED HAM

Mānuka Honey & Orange marmalade glaze is a kiwi classic when it comes to Christmas ham. Serve with your favourite Christmas sides like roasted vegetables and salads.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 45–55 minutes

Serves: many


Ingredients


1 cup orange marmalade 

1 orange, zested and juiced  

¼ cup Manuka Emporium honey 

1 tsp DYC apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp cinnamon

1 Farmland Hampden Half Ham; cooked on the bone 

whole cloves 


Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake. 

  2. Place the marmalade, orange juice, zest, honey, apple cider vinegar and cinnamon in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 10–15 minutes or until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon easily. 

  3. Remove the skin from the ham leaving 1cm of fat on the surface. Score the fat with a knife creating a diamond pattern. Baste the ham with the glaze. Place a clove in the corner of each diamond. Place into a deep dish baking tray. 

  4. Cook for 35–45 minutes. 

  5. Leave to rest for 15 minutes before serving. 


Tip: Cover with aluminium foil if the glaze starts browning too quickly. Usually around halfway through cooking time this is needed.
